Reduce table allocs: only strip ANSI if necessary (#4378)
For the width calculations for table layout the `strip_ansi` function
has to be called frequently. By checking for the ASCII control chars
(0x00 to 0x1f) except `\n` that are stripped by `strip_ansi_escapes` the number of
necessary allocations can be reduced significantly for the simple case
of text not containing ANSI escapes.

**Benchmark:**

```
nu -c "for i in 0..1000 { ls } | flatten | table"
```

**Allocation reduction**

Running on the nushell repo root as the directory, this change reduces the
allocation volume by approximately 400 MB

(Measured run via KDE heaptrack)
**Speed improvement to output**

Measured via `/usr/bin/time -v`
